We’re hiring in the Weber Lab at the University of Iowa! We study how intracellular pathogens (Chlamydia trachomatis and Orientia tsutsugamushi) manipulate host cells through secreted effector proteins. Two great opportunities for future scientists and research professionals.
Excited to share our new paper in mBio! We show that the Chlamydia trachomatis effector protein CT181 binds Mcl-1, prolongs neutrophil survival, enhances bacterial persistence, and promotes infection/pathogenesis in vivo.
🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨
Come work with us at the University of Iowa on Orientia tsutsugamushi—a fascinating intracellular pathogen. Projects include building genetic tools + uncovering how effectors hijack host cell cycle + centrosome function.
Please share!
